Annals of ruby-slippered
clogging:
I needed foot-percussion
on "Diggy Diggy La and Diggy Diggy Lo,”
so I went looking
for a rubber band to bind a tin
of Altoids to my clogging
right foot—when what should I
spy
but a ruby-colored bag with ribbon-
handles! Diggy Diggy La
loved Diggy Diggy Lo. Everyone
knew he was her beau.
I could slip my clogging
right foot into the bag, Altoid
tin
under my toes and beat my foot
on my cedar-deck floor as I sang Diggy Diggy
La loved Diggy Diggy
Lo. No one else could ever show
so much love
for Diggy Diggy Lo.
